Description: | A copper-alloy mount of probable 17th to 18th century AD date.
The main part of the plate is pelta-shaped, has cast foliate decoration and a small, deliberately cast hole in the intact half. A three-lobed decorative projection extends upwards from the centre of the upper edge and a single lobe extends downwards on the underside. The upper surface has traces of a corroded tinning or silvering. The reverse is flat and there are two integral rivets, both of which are bent inwards, pinning a piece of mineralised leather to the back of the plate.
The object measures 29.6mm wide, 30.7mm high and 5.6mm thick; it weighs 5.3g. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1600
